It helps a mother find closure to their birth story and their own self and centre again and to connect to their new body so that they can have the confidence as a woman. During this time the mother will feel nurtured, at peace and can release emotions associated with the birth and motherhood. Many women find that when they have given birth they feel ‘broken open’.  The body, mind and spirit have to open and let go from a deep place to bring a new soul into the world. We open ourselves to the most dramatic life experience and sometimes traumatic experience.

The pelvis is a complicated piece of engineering, with bone, muscles, ligaments, tendons and fascia helping both stabilise the body and allow for motion. Emotionally, the pelvis is the home of the second chakra, “Svadhisthana”, which is closely associated with emotions and with the unconscious. The hip muscles are programmed to be easily activated for “fight, flight or freeze” response. When the body suffers a trauma, our instinctual reflex is to clench these deep muscles. The problem is, we don’t let go. These unresolved emotions and trauma can be felt upon the hips as adrenalin crystals, that are released during the massage.

During pregnancy, the hips, open, becoming wider and wider to accommodate the growing baby, and prepare the body for birth.  It is vitally important to help the hips close post birth, otherwise, mothers suffer from pelvic instability as a result, and they “leak energy”.

The closing the bones treatment involves the use of a traditional shawl to rock and articulate the mother’s hips. Receiving this massage and ceremony after the first 40 days postbirth (once the lochia has ceased), stimulates blood flow which in turn; cleans, renews, moves fluids, balances hormones, stimulates the immune system, and helps tone muscles and tissues. In addition, it helps pop and release the ‘fight/flight/freeze’ adrenaline crystals in the hips, thus promoting emotional release, which allow for the mother to set foot into her present of mothering her baby with ease and calm.
